At JEI Learning Center, we make furthering education our number one goal. For students the nation over, there are two types of assessments coming up that can really impact their academic success. Both the PARCC and the Smarter Balanced Assessment are designed to test students on a variety of different subjects to determine if they are on track and ensure that they are ready to continue their educational pursuits in college and the workplace. Read on to find out more about these exams. 

PARCC – Found primarily on the East Coast, the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) allows both parents and teachers to get a comprehensive idea of how students are doing in school. This assessment is designed to provide a thorough analysis on each test-taker’s strengths and weaknesses so that educators can determine which subjects require more emphasis and how to improve existing methods of teaching.

Smarter Balanced Assessment – Geared more towards the West Coast, this exam draws upon the Common Core State Standards to determine a precise and accurate reading of students’ progression and college/career readiness. This high-quality assessment system will then be used by teachers to hone in on problem areas and create a more efficient and effective method of teaching.

With the right amount of test preparation, students of all ages and academic levels can make great strides and achieve the scores to reflect that. If you would like to learn more about both the PARCC and the Smarter Balanced Assessment, JEI Learning Centers are here to help.
